What do we mean by efficiency? A holistic approach to reducing embodied carbon

Ian Poole explores ways to improve the utilisation ratio of designs, and encourages engineers to challenge assumptions that favour rationalisation over optimisation.

Will Arnold, Mike Cook, Duncan Cox, Orlando Gibbons and John Orr present SCORS – a proposed carbon rating scheme for structures – and encourage engineers to adopt carbon targets for their projects.

In this webinar recording, the authorial group of The future of structural design s hares their vision of what the work of an engineer might look like in the future.
